Num. 8,9; Acts 28

Acts 28:28 Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!"

In Numbers God is separating the Levis out for the work of the temple. The tent making, the offering of sacrifices, the making of the temple instruments for serving God. He even declares which children will be the priests and at what ages they will serve. Starting at 25 and retiring at 50 (Someone tell Rick I am 58). It is the job of the priest to serve the lord in His temple. We are the priests and our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit it is our Job to serve the Lord in His temple. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. In Acts Paul does just that as he calls the Jews of Rome to him and declares Jesus and Him crucified. He goes to them first and some reject Jesus so he tells them Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!"

People ask me all the time “pastor how do I figure out the will of God in my life”? Seams like a self answering question, it is like a carpenter asking his boss what do I do with my profession? The boss says “Make things out of wood” that much you already know the details we will work out later. The answer is the same for every priest “that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light”. The details we will work out later.

May this be a day “that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light”.
